Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 3 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Add cream of mushroom soup and water to the prepared dish. Whisk together until completely combined.

Step 3

Stir in uncooked rice, tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Season with about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir again.

Step 4

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in sausage. Cover again, return to oven, and bake for 30 more minutes.

Step 5

At this point, give the casserole a stir and check the rice for doneness. If the rice isn’t completely tender, cover the dish and continue baking for 10-15 more minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked.
